In JENKINS-4593, archiving of artifacts was made optional. In some setups (like ours) it would be good if it was possible to disable archiving altogether. Archiving uses lots of network bandwidth between master and slave and takes much more time than the build itself.
It would be great to have a global setting to disable archiving. I imagine there are two ways to implement this:
1. If the global flag is set, there's no archiving ever, the corresponding "disable archiving" flag on job level isn't even displayed.
2. If the global flag is set, newly created jobs start out with a checked "disable archiving" flag that users can uncheck if they want to.
I don't mind either way, thank you for reading
probably nice enhancement.
But I wonder why you are not using a groovy script to change the "disable archiving" for all of your maven builds ?
Perso, I have done it with a groovy script.
